In the race OF SucnoaStaIoly uecoS
| it bchooves US to protest emphat-
ically and we iare determined to
be heard"
Professor De Leon. of Columbia
college, received an immense
cheering as he explained how
we'll he knew the dangers for a
man in his social position to attend
/ a meeting in favor of the anarch-
lists, and yet had braved the con-
sequences.
Il come here deliberately" he
exclaimed, land for the good
name of our beloved country that
its proud record shall not be blem-
ished by a judicial crime as the
one contemplated in Chicago"
William McCabe was the next
speaker. He could never believe
that such men of such clean lives,
such good fathers of families
could have been guilty of the
crime of which they have been
convicted, and protested against
their execution in strong terms.
The chair announced that ex-
Governor Abbot, Roger A. Prior,
William P. Black, Gideon J..
Tucker and General B. F. Butler
sent their regrets at not being
present, being engaged in the good
work elsewhere. The mention of
each of their names was received
with cheers and applause.
Counsellor E. w. Soaring ad-
dressed the assemblage as follows:
Friends, women, and men Of
New York. The age of opinions,
the age of free discussion and OF
public meeting has come, and
whatever interferes with it must
go, even if is a Judge, governor or
policeman. For a century we
have lived under a constitution,
granting the right of free speech,
and an the year of the centennial
celebration of this constitution
what do we see7 For 672 years
the English people have enjoyed
the right to be tried by a jury Of
their peers, and 200 years ago this
was reafirmed in the grandest
manner. Our own constitution
demands that every criminal, nc
matter how vile and base he is, be
tried by a jury of his peers, unbi-
ased and unprejudiced. Was that
done in Chicagol If we have the
spirit of independence it does not
matter if we have a republican
monarchy, as in England. or a
plutocracy as here. the people
know how to maintain their right
to free speech. Why was the
meeting called in Chicago on
May a. Because the people
wanted to protest against a police
outrage aslwe protested in New
York last Monday. A meeting OF
strikers was attacked the day be-
fore by the police as we were at
tackled in Union square on Satur-
day, October s. The meeting on
the Haymarket was orderly and
legal. Men of all classes attended
it, but the polite interfered with
its proceedings in criminal way.
The evidence which caused the
conviction of these eight men,
was not sufficient. We, who are
speaking here tonight, could be
convicted just as we'll. 1t is the
duty of every law-abiding citizen
to protest that such a principle
shall never be established, and
! hope there is such a sense Of
justice in this country as will not
allow that these men be executed"

THE RUTLAND HEARING.

The indications are that the interstate
commerce commission will have plenty
of grievances to hear when it meets in
Rutland on the lst of September. The
Free Press says: "We are told that a
representative of the grange called upon
Senator Edmunds for his assistance in
presenting the case, and that upon
stating the inability of the grange to
secure counsel, the Senator said that he
would make no charge to the farmers and
grangers of Vermont for arguing the
case, provided they had good counsel to
prepare the same, for which duty he had
no time to spare. Hon. Kittridge Has
kins of Brattleboro has already begun
the preliminary work for the grange, but
owing to the limited time it is said that
but few points can be presented"
We are informed that outside railroads
interested will do what they can to stir
up the opposition to the Vermont roads.

FATAL SHOOTING ACCIDENT.

//Our Orwell correspondent writes "a
young man by the name of Doesware,
living with Mr.. Wiswell on the Murray
farm, was killed almost instantly on
Sunday last from the discharge of gun
with which he was playing. His parents
reside in Richville."
We learn from other sources that the
young man was out hunting He stopped to
rest and placed the butt of the gun upon
a stump. As he stood leaning upon the
weapon it slipped off the stump, and, the
hammer striking the top of the stump,
it was discharged. The whole charge
entered his body. He had bought the
gun but a day or two before. Doesware's
age was about l6 years.

SENATOR MORRlLL'S Views,

Senator Morrill,, in published inter-
view, says respecting the political situa-
ton: "Anyone can see that Republican
sentiment not only predominates in the
States of the North, but it is fast reach
ing the point of ascendancy in the South.
The election in Virginia. when we
changed strongly Democratic to a
strongly Republican delegation in Con-
gress, was potent sign of the time.
But now look at it in Kentucky. Next
we will see similar progress and results
in West Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama
and North Carolina. | only hope that
fair issue on the tariff / would like to
see that in these latter days brought fair
ly and squarely before the people un-
trammeled by other questions. We have
no great issue, such as existed in the
days of the slavery controversies, to stir
up the people and lead them to speak
with the full voice and power of their
authority in public affairs. 1t is true that
prohibition and labor problems are COM
ing to the front. but they have not as vet
sufficiently crystallized to become nation
al issues.
1.-The Democratic party is in excellent
condition to be wiped out in the next
contest if we make no mistakes. The
Republicans are in perfect accord on
every great question. | cannot say
whether that harmony will exist in the
selection of its candidates. That is the
only subject which troubles my peace of
mind in the outlook of our ticket for
1883. do not wish to see our chances
thrown away by personal preferences in
the choice of candidate. | have no
preferences, only to have the man who
can continue in the campaign the har-
mony and strength which will be repre-
sented in the platform. | am most too
old to go to conventions. but | am sure
that Vermont will be represented by men
who will have nothing in view but the
interests of the party and certainty of
success. If we lose another election il
will quadruple the difficulty of succeed
ing for years later. This one should and
will be the last Democratic administra-
ton for many years to come if the Re-
publican leaders choose to make it so.'

SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER of Virginia
is always picturesque character. His
latest adventure is thus described: He
had defended one Jones accused of larce-
ny at Woodstock, Va, one day last
week, ,and Judge Newman had discharged
Jones upon the ground that he was in
sane. Riddleberger becoming annoyed,
induced, or is said to have induced, Jones
to parade the streets with a placard which
was disrespectful to the court The Sen
ator was summoned into court and fined
S25; he defied the court and was landed
in Jail for contempt. During the night a
party of friends broke in and liberated
him; and he and his retainers spent the
rest of the night painting the town red.

A/FoRMER RESIDENT OF SHoREHAM\
KILLED.

The Minneapolis (Minn.) Evening
Journal of the 9th inst. has the follow
ing: "The storm came up so suddenly
this afternoon that many were caught in
the rain and soaked. The electrical dis
charges were frequent and heavy, espe-
cially in the West end. At the 3lst
street junction, corner of Nicollet, the
lightning struck the lime house of the
Union Storage company, and, tearing the
shingles off one end of the roof, passed
into the building. Geo. w. Rich, who
lives at the corner of Nicollet ave. and
43d ST., and who has charge of the stor-
age house, was sitting in chair by the
door. The electric fluid struck him in the
right side of the head, passed down the
right side of the body and tore his shoes.
He was killed instantly. The tiremen at
the 2Sth ST. station were called out, but
there were no flames to eXtinguish." The
deceased was son of the late Quintus
Rich of Shoreham and brother OF
Messrs. William +. and Carroll Rich, who
now reside in that town.

NOTloE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

We find it impossible to fulfil onr agree
ment to discontinue all papers not paid in
advance at this date. SO many OF our friends
came around to settleup and take a new start
that ii has used up about all the time we had
to spare to attend to them, leaving us no
chance to prepare and send out notifications
to those still in arrears. 1t would obviously
be unfair to cut off those who had not been in
formed that they were behind, as the date OF
expiration does not appear on the paper; so
we have decided, in order to do justice to all,
to continue to send out statements OF their
standing to delinquents, and then they will be
cut off if they do not heed the call.
Our supply OF wood tar exceeds the demand,
and no more will be received on subscriptions
this season.

THERE is apparently great difficulty in
fixing the responsibility for the accident
at Chatsworth, Ill. \ dispatch of Tues
day says; -. B. Stevens, general solici-
tor and attorney for the Toledo, Peoria
and Western railroad says the testimony
before the coroner to-day lays the whole
blame of the recent disaster on Timothy
Coughlan, the section boss. He was or
dered to go over the entire length of his
section the day of the excursion and see
all was right; he did not go near the
western end. He set fire to the grass
near the bridge, then did not look after
it. Coughlan claims he was sick. He
will be discharged and may be indicted"
The reports, taken as whole, tend to
show that the road is poorly managed at
best.
